for poe ranger as remote attacking class, it is indispensable to have high evasion, critical strike and life in fights. i’ll introduce a ranger guide with high evasion, critical strike and life to you. i analyze passive skill tree and path of exile items for my ranger.
first of all, let’s look at the main attack skill, lightning arrow. my skill connection is the following:
lightning arrow less multiple projectiles weapon elemental damage blood magic life leech/ life gain on hit ( chain)
without lmp and chain, the attacking number of lightning arrow is four:
with lmp, the number: 3 3 * 3 = 12
with lmp and chain, the number: 3 3 * 3 6 6 * 3 = 36
lightning arrow can hit more than six enemies at a time, which is a nice aoe skill.
frenzy faster attacks added chaos damage life leech
frenzy is to slay the monsters to reflect damage.
curse: critical weakness/enfeeble/temporal chain/warlord's mark
aura: hatred, grace and wrath
equipment
basically, i choose poe equipment which adds maximum life, evasion and resistance. i do not list my specific equipment here. but i will give some guide to tell you how to choose the equipment.
weapon
for an archer, there is no doubt that the attack weapon is a bow. i suggest that you can choose a bow with high pure physical damage, instead of the physical damage bows with high critical strike, because you do not deal with the monsters who can reflect damage if your critical strike is two high.
quiver
quiver attributes: critical strike/ critical strike chance/ life> resistance> elemental damage/ base damage> attack speed.
boots and gloves
the most important attributes is to add resistance, movement speed and lightning damage. wake of destruction and reinforced greaves are wonderful. if you are rich enough, you can buy some.
as to gloves, i get maliaro’s virtuosit.
body armor
body armor can increase maximum life, evasion and resistance with multiple links.
rings and amulet
if you find what attribute is not good, you can add it through rings and amulet.
passive skill tree
i mainly increase life, evasion, physical damage and critical strike in passive skill tree. before i reach level 85, i gain lots of nodes to add them.
